Erling Haaland scored twice as Savinho inspired Manchester City to a 4-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.
Match report
Vladimir Coufal's own goal set City on their way before Erling Haaland scored either side of half-time, with all three goals scored by Savinho. Phil Foden scored the fourth as Pep Guardiola's side built on their win over Leicester to record back-to-back victories.
Niclas Fullkrug pulled one back for West Ham and even then the score flattered City, but the result still puts pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui. His side were badly beaten 5-0 by Liverpool in their final game of 2024 and sent four more.
